Vaer DS5 Meridian

I saw a post from someone at Vaer a week or so back saying this was not a great seller for them and I was like “but it looks really good!” So I bought...

Prometheus Jamanta

The current meta may be sub-38mm, but not everyone is going along with that, and sometimes a significant chunk of watch isn’t a bad thing…

Greenport, but blue

Wasn’t planning on getting something like this but it was pretty inexpensive…. It has the updated Miyota 8xxx with hacking seconds.

Oooh nice!

It let me fit that vintage military fabric strap, so it's not all bad!

I don't disagree - the logo isn't the best, but I think it's fine. The plain block capital ISLANDER underneath is what I'd do away with myself, that's not great at all.

It was a thing at one point back in the day I think, I've seen it on vintage watches before (I want to say Rado in particular but I don't know if they invented it or not), but it's not as common as it ought to be, it's better looking than a day-date at 3 I think....

It's not terribly grippy as I mentioned above.

It's nice overall, seems like a very good deal for the $$.

Lume is decent not spectacular, but uses two colors.

Bezel action is good - no play at all, maybe a touch hard to turn (the grip is not great) but it might break in a bit.

The Miyota 8xxx is not the most refined movement as far as hand-winding and time setting goes. It's perfectly usable though

The crystal has distinct distortion from the slight dome, people who hate that should avoid it probably.

It's not going to win any awards for case/bracelet finishing - nothing particularly obnoxious though.

If you like the aesthetics, it's an easy recommend I think, as long as you aren't expecting a 600$ watch for half that price.

I didn't need to remove any links on mine, so I can't say if it's a common issue. Hopefully not!

I’d had an eye on the blue and gilt version, but it was sold out before I got to pulling the trigger…. When the new colors appeared and I had the fund...
